My brother is in the pest control business in Eastern North Carolina. When I found out that I had termites I asked for his advice. He told me to find a local guy that I trusted to evaluate and treat the termites. Jeff Honeycutt and his crew at Apex fit the description perfectly. I highly recommend Jeff and his whole treatment crew. Jim Williams

Excellent communication, and they took care of my pest problem the first time. Luke showed up on time and even came back to do a bit of supplemental work for stuff we spotted after he visited the first time. Apex has been great to work with and certainly earned our trust! Thank you!

We were referred to Apex from a neighbor. Apex got out to the house the same day, and returned the following day to finish the work. Professional, friendly, privately owned- local, appears to be a good value. Seems like exactly what we were looking for. Services: Termite inspection, Inspection, Wildlife, Rodents, Spiders

I called Apex at around 9 am for a yellow jacket infestation in the siding of my house and by 1 pm it was taken care of. Corey, the exterminator, was punctual, courteous, friendly, and communicated clearly about arrival time, treatment, and payment, and he totally eliminated the nest. They also have a 30-day guarantee, which is fantastic. This is a very friendly business. The representative I spoke to on the phone told me he could refer me to someone who does bats, even though they don't do bats. I would definitely refer this business to a friend, and for any other pest problems I will use this business again.

I can't say enough about this company. I had a previous pest control company before switching to Apex. So glad I did. Brad is so knowledgeable and easy to speak with. I had a wasp issue and Brad knew exactly how to handle it. They do not rush through the service they are preforming like other companies. Kudos to Apex!. Keep up the great work!

I can not say enough good things about this company! Seriously. The personal approach and care they take with your house is unlike what you would expect. I live out of state, but they take the time to call you on the phone and discuss everything they did and answer all your questions. Who does that? We have been with Apex from the beginning over 2 years now and we will be lifelong customers. I have gotten to know Tom, Brad and Jeff along the way and everyone has been nothing but friendly, helpful, informative and professional. WOW. This is how a local company should be run! Well done gentlemen! The BEST!

I contacted Apex because of mice problem in and under our home. I chose Apex over their competitors because of the thoroughness of their explanation of the procedure to get rid of all our little Mickey and Minnies. The tech that came was Brad and he checked around and in the house, and strategically placed the bait containers. He explained the what and why of the traps and their placements and answered any and all of my questions. Excellent representative for the company. Best yet, within a week we no longer heard any little footsteps in or under our house and no more little pellets to remember them by, Great company!.

My husband and I have rental properties in Black Mountain and Asheville and have utilized different pest control companies through the years. Jeff was quick to respond to my phone call to answer my questions/concerns and with prices lower than what we had been paying. Our technician, Luke G. is very knowledgeable, incredibly thorough, and will send me photo's of problem areas. And get this, Luke even sweeps off the spider webs while he inspects the properties! WOW! Needless to say, we are very impressed with the service that Apex delivers and wanted to share the love! MonJon, The Red Cottage Black Mountain, NC

First I would like to commend Hunter, my technician, for his personal and professional qualities. My house was being invaded by tiny ants! I placed a phone call to Apex and voiced my concerns to Tim. He was the friendly voice on the other end of the phone. He told me I had called the right place and indeed, I had. They came out very promptly and treated for me, also gave me advice about these unwanted creatures.

They know their 'stuff' and can explain things very well. I have wanted to get my house on a treatment plan for years but I had just put it off. I am now under a yearly treatment plan with Apex and I feel very good about this. I have told my neighbors, family and friends about Apex and some have told me they use them already and have been for years and years. So we ALL recommend Apex to ALL of you! Jeff, Tim, Hunter and Collin are the wonderful employees I had the pleasure of working with.

Others I know have used other technicians and say they are also great. These guys truly care about what is going on and what you need help with. They will provide you with A+ customer care which is hard to find these days. Make yourself happy and call Apex!

I picked Apex due to their Google reviews, their great page on Facebook, and the very polite and knowledgeable individual I spoke to on the phone. Hunter and Colin of Apex just left my house. They gave me a courtesy call before arriving and then arrived on schedule. I told Hunter the basement had no issues but he still went down there and sprayed just incase, which I appreciated. Both men were very polite and respectful to my wife and I. Colin found 3 wasp nests while spraying the outside.

I did not call Apex for anything specific, just general pest control and I am very happy with my decision, their employees truly seemed to care about their job and making sure my house was protected. Thank you Apex.
